If consulting firms were universities: McKinsey: Harvard - the most prestigious to those on the outside, but lowkey corrupt BCG: MIT - nerds that love comparing themselves to Harvard Bain: Penn / Wharton - fratty, preppy, never shuts up about the buyside (continued in the comments 👇🏼)

Of course OP is at LEK. It’s either work or think about work there lol

EYP: UCLA - you’re a solid all rounder but just haven’t been in the game as long as the others
Deloitte: UT Austin - huge tier 2.5 alternative that keeps spending $ to get bigger
Accenture: Georgia Tech - engineers that have a business side for some reason
PWC, EY, KPMG: (insert state school of choice)

funnylike

LEK: Dartmouth - still a cool ivy, but with an inferiority complex
OW: Columbia - lives with FS, kind of it’s own thing vs. the other schools
S&: Vanderbilt - that Nashville vibeeee
Kearney: Notre Dame - laid back and sporty but in the middle of nowhere

Honestly I can’t combat any of this it’s pretty spot on lol. I know a lot of people from better than average state schools at B4 and got a good chuckle out of that. The only one I’d probably change is S& akin like Carnegie melon, respected by the people that know it, irrelevant to those that don’t.

I’d compare Bain to Stanford/GSB tbh (though W is good too) - entrepreneurial and VC-ish, somewhat good culture. So H/S <-> McK/Bain

That’s fair!

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
